This work, with appropriate Maps and embellishments, is now in
progress, and will be published early in the ensuing season. Though
hitherto greatly needed, no book of the kind proposed, suitable for
the instruction of younger pupils in families and sabbath schools,
has yet appeared. The attention of the publishers has been recently
called to the subject, by the suggestions of gentlemen deeply
interested in price and dimensions, illustrating the geography of
the Holy Land, together with that of the other regions mentioned in
Scripture, specially adapted to the end proposed, should be
published.
For the basis of the proposed work, Part Second of Mitchell's
Ancient Geography, to which it is similar in scope and design, will
be adopted. As in that treatise, besides the requisite geographical
notices proper to the subject, such historical incidents connected
therewith will be interwoven with the narrative, as will render the
local descriptions more interesting, and an examination of the
various texts referred to will doubtless enable pupils to acquire a
more distinct understanding of the geography and history of the
sacred volume.
